One thing that really impacts the price of the Lego is how many unique pieces it has. They actually used to have more sets back in the day with unique pieces that were only used in that set, so that would make their cost to create far higher.

These days they typically don't have as many unique pieces, maybe that Lego track one does. I wouldn't be surprised to see it use more than a few pieces you can't find in other Lego sets. People always want to look at price per brick, but there is a lot more going on beyond that. Especially for the financial department that prices these things.
